We are migrating our scheduling system from torque/maui/moab to slurm and there is a particularly important moab/maui feature [hard and soft limits] which does not seem to be implemented yet in slurm, please see below a link to a description of that feature http://docs.adaptivecomputing.com/mwm/archive/6-0/6.2throttlingpolicies.php#limits
My questions are: a) Am I missing something and soft/hard limits feature actually is implemented in slurm ? b) no this feature does not exists but there is alternative way of doing this n slurm ? c) no this feature does not exists but implementing it in slurm would be easy/difficult caveat: I would like to avoid cronjob like solutions that would change limits in flight according to cluster state.
